I've run into "enough" cases in several languages/projects over the
years where I end up using damn near every class/function in a
moderate-sized library.
And you'd certainly want to do that if you're, say, writing some kind
of higher-level glue-wrapper API sort of thing -- which is a not
uncommon use-case.
While it may not meet the 90% rule, it's super-painful for that 10%
for any decent-sized library :-(
